Author: Mickael Crichton
Type: medical thriller
Synopsis:
Scientists attempt the first implantation of an "electronic brain" on a human being. But a little mistake makes a monster out of the test subject. How will they stop the killing machine?
The test subject, Benson, is a computer engineer with psychic troubles. He's sure machines will take over the world. He nevertheless volunteered for the experiment, which can stop his violent epileptic crisis but will make of him an implacable murderer.
Review:
This book dates back to 1972. Yet, it's still quite interesting, moreover in a DG setting with all the Blue Team members running around... Just like most of Crichton books, this tory presents a nice twist and a scientifically credible one.
